A Nairalander's Open Letter To All Muslims by Tunjman(m): 12:32pm On Aug 07, 2013
In the name of Allah, the generally merciful and the especially merciful.

Salam Alaekum dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

The past 29/30 days have taught many of us how a prudent low income salary earner manages his meagre salary and tries to stay debt-free for the month.

In the cause of upholding one of the 5 tenets of Islam, we all have managed to deprive ourselves certain comforts to get closer to our God and still went about our businesses without one hindering the other. In other words, the 24 hours most of us complained not enough to combine business and prayer have been more than enough even to add some supplications.

However, this could not have been possible without self discipline and determination. A low income salary earner would always complain about his ridiculous remuneration if the token is not properly planned upon at least, pending the time he gets a better offer.

Ramadan on the other hand, has served has a template upon which a believing muslim should draw a schedule of engagement with his creator and still go about his normal business without the two clashing. During Ramadhan, I saw bank tellers leaving the counter for congregation prayers and yet, they were not fired and the reason is that we've portrayed ramadhan to be the only period God answers our prayers as muslim.

Ramadhan has come and about to go, five daily prayers still remain, alms giving is still an act of Ibbada, supplication through nawafil still remains, weekly fasting (tatawah) still remains, good deeds are not going with ramadhan, immodest dressing isn't only 'unramadhanic' but also unislamic, Allah frowns at violence, back bitting and taking advantage of the feeble are still sinful acts before God. Let us utilize every minute of our lives to get closer to our God after ramadhan because, only Him knows those who would witness the next one...Eid-ul-mubaraq in advance!
